The Way of All Flesh (International Collectors Library American Headquarters – Garden City, New York) by Samuel Butler || Illustrator: Andre Durenceau
The Way of All Flesh is a novel by Samuel Butler, written between 1873 and 1884 but not published until 1903. It follows several generations of the fictional Pontifex family, examining the transmission of Victorian values from one generation to the next. The story journeys into the roles of church and family, satirizing Victorian hypocrisy.
At its essential core, it's a powerful indictment of 19th-century England's major institutions which would present themselves as: The Family, The Church, and The Class Structure.
